To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment.
HR 4889 would limit states to a single congressional redistricting cycle following each decennial census and apportionment of House seats. It prohibits states from redrawing congressional districts more than once after a census unless a court orders additional redistricting to comply with the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act. The bill does not affect how states conduct elections for state or local offices, which remain unchanged. This law would apply to any redistricting occurring after the November 2024 election.
